ISBN: 9781848858145 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In this unique and perceptive study, Shanahan explores the development of the Shi'i community from the imposition of French...

World Unity
ISBN: 9781490595566 / Angielski / Miękka / 630 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book advocates, describes the need for, and seeks to commence movement toward, a "New World Order." There appears to be a current fascination with conspiracies, such as that called the "New World Order Illuminati Conspiracy"--sometimes said to be spearheaded by Lucifer (15 to 20 million Internet searches per week). Common sense dictates that this is extremely unlikely. This book, on the other hand, will convince the reader that a "new world order" is certainly necessary--but one that is quite different from the "takeover" and "enslavement" that is fearfully predicted. The within book...

ISBN: 9781612056272 / Angielski / Twarda / 137 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Problems posed by Syria's chemical weapons attacks, Egypt's ouster of an elected government, and myriad other global dilemmas beg the question of whether and how the world can be governed. The challenge is addressing what former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan called "Problems without Passports"-environmental, economic, humanitarian, and political crises that threaten stability, prosperity, and even human survival. Everything is globalized-everything except politics, which remain imprisoned behind national borders. The world has changed, but our basic way of managing it has not. We pursue...

Framing War: Public Opinion and Decision-Making in Comparative Perspective
ISBN: 9780415724661 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most research on framing has focused on media and elite frames: the ways that the mass media and politicians present information about issues and events to the public. Until now, the process by which citizens' opinions may affect the initial frame-building process has been largely ignored. The two-way flow of influence between public opinion and decision-makers has been analyzed more from a top-down than a bottom-up perspective. Olmastroni addresses this issue by introducing a cyclical model of framing. Additionally, most empirical studies on media framing have centered on the...

Language and State: An Inquiry into the Progress of Civilization
ISBN: 9780761862000 / Angielski / Twarda / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book argues that a primitive society is formed on the basis of kinship ties while a civilized society is formed on the basis of linguistic communication. When humans communicate with each other through language, they extend the distance of communication. The extension of communication distance helps expand communities. States are gradually formed. This means that as these communities grow, they become too large to be supported only by the ties of kinship. The use of language and the development of linguistic communication underlies the establishment of governments, the introduction of ...

Elections and Distributive Politics in Mubarak's Egypt
ISBN: 9781107617018 / Angielski / Miękka / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite its authoritarian political structure, Egypt s government has held competitive, multi-party parliamentary elections for more than 30 years. This book argues that, rather than undermining the durability of the Mubarak regime, competitive parliamentary elections ease important forms of distributional conflict, particularly conflict over access to spoils. In a comprehensive examination of the distributive consequences of authoritarian elections in Egypt, Lisa Blaydes examines the triadic relationship between Egypt s ruling regime, the rent-seeking elite that supports the regime, and the...

Civil Society Under Authoritarianism: The China Model

Despite the dominant narrative of the repression of civil society in China, Civil Society Under Authoritarianism: The China Model argues that interactions between local officials and civil society facilitate a learning process, whereby each actor learns about the intentions and work processes of the other. Over the past two decades, often facilitated by foreign donors and problems within the general social framework, these interactions generated a process in which officials learned the benefits and disadvantages of civil society. Civil society supports local officials' efforts to provide...
